Pretty Print Winter Frost Holiday Bundle

Today's bundle is another offering from my holiday camp. 

 

The card in this bundle uses the new card thinlits, Winter Frost DSP, mini silver brads, Bracket Punch, and the stamp sets Tags 4 You and Christmas Messages stamp sets. 

 

This card is one of my Stamp-a-stack options at 10 for $20.  The inside of the flip card is shown below.  This is a great product line and I'm excited to get it in front of everyone to play with!

 

The gift card holder is based on a tutorial offered by Dawn Griffith. Dawn is one of the demonstrators I've followed online for a few years, ever since I met her in person at a Stampin' Addicts event.  She's amazing and very funny!  This holder utilizes our envelopes in a fun new way.  I love the Pretty Print embossing folder because it adds an element of elegance to a project in a quick way.  You can see how I used it on the front of the holder in the bundle picture above.

 

The tag uses components from the card thinlits, embossing folder, Tags 4 You, and Bracket punch.  These are super quick and super cute so I'm excited to make a bunch of them for my Christmas gifts.

The Most Romantic Label

Emily Montoya's stamp set that was submitted for the In With You challenge is my current favorite stamp set.  Called Spread the Joy, it has such a fresh look to it and the sayings all make me smile.   I love the stamp "You are my Bucket List" and it makes me want to kiss my husband.  If only it included one that said "I love you despite that mustache that you really should stop growing so I can kiss you without being scratched."  But that might be too specific, you think?  I guess since I'm the DD for Beer Fest today for my father and my husband, I should have looked for a stamp that says "Thank you in advance since I might not be able to speak later..."

I wanted to showcase products to my customers because they are not listed in catalogs anywhere but didn't want to take a long time to do it. So I combined this great stamp set with the Label Card Thinlit Die and showed it at my last workshop.  I think it's very pretty.

 

Supplies:

• Cardstock/Paper: Cherry Cobbler, Modern Medley DSP, Very Vanilla
• Stamp Set: Spread the Joy
• Ink: Cherry Cobbler
• Accessories: Big Shot, Cutting Mats, Magnetic Platform, Label Card Thinlit Die, Season of Style Washi Tape, Dimensionals, Paper Snips, and Adhesive

Craftastic Notes:

• You can put washi tape on scraps and then run them through the Big Shot with the additional thinlits that come with the card thinlits.  It's a fun way to utilize scraps and it will give them a fun smooth texture.
• When cutting the DSP to match these thinlits, insert it into the card thinlit and make sure you leave a border around it.  Then when you cut it out, it will fit on the card but hug the area of the card that swivels.  If this isn't clearer than mud, you should schedule a free workshop and I'll just show you!
• I love the look of cutting out a stamped image and raising it on dimensionals. 
• The Modern Medley paper is designed to be inked and sponged to change the color to match other colors on the card.  I left mine cream but could have easily used my dauber to change it to Cherry Cobbler or another color.

Have a craftastic day,

Fall Card Thinlits

Have you used our new card thinlits yet?  They make a horrible noise when they go through my Big Shot but a great sound escapes me when I'm done with a card using them.  I love the instant WOW they bring to a card. 

I am also a big fan of our Designer Papers.  I love that you can simply turn them over and have a whole new theme.  Such is the case with these cards that were the make-n-take at my workshop last night.  One side of the Sweater Weather Designer Paper lends itself to Halloween and the other lends itself to Thanksgiving.  I also LOVE our candy dots.  After the card was all put together, I realized that it needed something extra.  I was able to add a "brad" without the legs showing in the back. Whoo hoo!

Supplies:

• Cardstock/Paper: Sweater Weather Designer Series Paper (1 7/8 x 5 1/4, 2 3/4 x 5 1/4), Sahara Sand (2 3/4 x 2 3/4), Whisper White (8 1/2 x 5 1/2)
• Stamps: Tags 4 You
• Ink: Tangerine Tango or Chocolate Chip
• Accessories:  Big Shot, Cutting Mats, Magnetic Platform, Circles Card Thinlit, Label Bracket Punch, Bold Brights or Neutrals Candy Dots, Bone Folder, Dimensionals, Scissors, and Adhesive

Directions:

• Do NOT fold your Whisper White cardstock in half.  Run it through the Big Shot using the Card Thinlit.  Press it flush against the left side.  My Big Shot makes a VERY loud noise when you run this through - it's okay.  Set the 2 1/2 x 5 1/2 scrap to the side.   Use the bone folder to make sure the scores are sharp so the card closes.
• Place the Card Thinlit back on the cutting mat.  Center the pieces of DSP in the framelit with about 1/8 inch space on all sides.  MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE SIDES UP THAT YOU WANT TO USE ON THE CARD. Run through the Big Shot.   Set the circle scraps to the side.  If you don't like my embellishment cluster, you can use other framelits in the set on the DSP.  If you do this, do it before you attach it to the card.  The DSP is attached using adhesive.
• Run the Sahara Sand piece through the Big Shot using the Scallop Circle Framelit.  Attach to the center using adhesive.
• With the 2 1/2 x 5 1/2 strip that is left over from the thinlit, stamp the seasonal image of your choice.  Use Chocolate Chip for Thanksgiving and Tangerine Tango for Halloween.  Punch out using the Label Bracket punch and attach to the Sahara Sand Scallop as shown.
• Layer the half circles on the lower right side as shown using adhesive. 
• Take the scrap that you used for the Tags 4 You image and punch out a bracket.  Trim the ends using your Paper Snips.  Attach to the card using adhesive.
• Attach a candy dot in the correct color to the cluster.
